Rhyming game
OK - Here's the idea. - If I starting it with 'Batter' The next person gives a word that rhymes it like 'flatter'. Then gives a new non-rhyming word to be rhymed with 'stick' or whatever. I'm starting with - 'Pond' Susan Added - remember that different accents can make different words sound different.

Joint Pain AFTER Tamoxifen
I was on Tamoxifen for 3-1/2 years. I stopped taking it June 2011 due to extremely painful periods. The past few months I've been having joint pains in my hip/legs. I'll be sitting for 30 minutes, get up and be in pain. Although I am only 41 years old, I'm going for a bone density test (and blood work) next week. I was…

My Left breast has several cysts in them 2 being quite large and painful. I have had mommos ultrasounds and biopsies, they located some calicifations that…

Rough week
I have been having horrible, horrible "rib" pain on the side where I had the bone mets in my ribs. I have been freaked out and scared all week. Pain has been crippling. Last night, a rash broke out and I realized that this was not a recurrence but shingles. I never, ever thought I would be thrilled to welcome shingles.…

Herbal Treatments for Menopause Symtoms
Please let me know if you are taking herbs for your menopause symtoms. I can't take effixor and there is so much information to go through to figure out what herbs work. My cancer was estrogen positive so I know I have to be careful and I know I need to clear it with my doctor first. But he really isn't any help in…

Sexuality issues
I just can't seem to get over having lost all breast sexuality. I wasn't supposed to lose two breasts... just one. But reconstruction left me with one post-mastectomy reconstructed 'breast' (I still don't consider it a breast) and an implanted natural breast that now has absolutely zero sensation in the nipple. It has been…

Not to be outdone by those SoCal women . . . .
Gabe N Abby Mom, Chicadee, Re, and I were unable to get together this weekend. Since there are some South Bay and Bay Area pink sisters around, we thought it would be a good idea to set a date, time and place (somewhere in the middle) that would work for all of us to get together. We were thinking Concord area. I need some…

Armidex - Side Effects, issues, different from Tamoxifen?
Hello all. I was wondering if anyone else has been switched from Tamoxifen to Arimidex. My onc just switched me because I'm in Menopause now. I've been reading about the Arimidex side effects of bone pain and achiness, which I already had with the Tamoxifen. Wondering if anyone is interested in sharing their experiences.…

Update: Tamoxifen and D&C
About a month ago, I found out I had thickening of the uterine lining that was caused by Tamoxifen. I have been on the drug for a little over two years. That being said, my gynecologist suggested scheduling for a D&C. I saw her today for an EKG, labwork, and to answer any questions I might have about the procedure. My…

Requesting pink bus
Haven't been around much but the readers digest history is: DCIS in January 2009, lumpectomy and 33 rads treatments. Mammo every 6 months since. I didn't get the one done in November due to moving, insurance, etc. so I went last Monday. They called and want to exam the incision line more carefully (I had *all* my old…

Benefits of RadX lotion for radiation
This is my first time on this site or any other site like it - I hesitate to offer advice but this has helped me so much. I have 3 treatments to go out of 33 as of today. I started using RadX radiation lotion after my 20th treatment and saw an immediate improvement. It has lidocaine so it instantly soothes! My skin has…

hair growth
Yay!! I'm so glad to finally be at the stage of writing about hair growth. It seems, as you all know, that we wait forever for our hair to start growing back. Well that's what I've done. Could not wait for the 4-6 weeks after chemo for the growth to begin. I guess that was a healthy way to view it, one step at a time. But,…
